Its time for the FO to switch up how they do QB

[SoupcanSam]

Some fans say they are not for drafting a QB high because they believe most times it doesn't work out....fact is it could work out, but the organization will never give the fans a chance to find out if it will.

When Daks *** is out of Dallas, the FO needs to draft a potential franchise QB high. 1st or 2nd pick.

If project QBs like Romo and Dak can only give the team a ceiling that leads to disappointment year after year, I dont mind the risk drafting a QB high.

At this point 30 years later, what the hell do we have to lose?

The younger QBs are showing that they are willing to assist their teams at the utmost highest level, even when things are not going perfect.

Drafting the experimental Romos, Daks of the world, and keeping these guys for the long wasted years that the FO does is freaking insufferable.

I don’t disagree, but you need to have a franchise QB on the board when it’s your turn to pick. The QB needs to fit your offense and staff unless he’s a true blue chip guy for whom you are willing to change everything. I cannot recall the last time Dallas was in that position since Aikman.

Build a solid, balanced team. Then you have several ways to acquire a QB and win.

I strongly believe that its the organization more than anything. I don't think Mahomes would win anything in dallas. when the owner says, he likes the drama and he likes to stir things up, you know where the focus is. its not football.

 

[Joey9775]

This goes back to Jerry's stupid around the rim arguments. I would much rather suck for a couple of years if the team is in the super bowl after that.

 

[Tabascocat]

There is no more Jimmy Johnson’s around to groom and build a team around a true blue-chip QB. The current leadership would completely botch that up, I have zero doubt. We have football morons at the helm.

Honestly, the first thing should be building up an elite defence. I think Dak is fine, but what all these elite teams have is elite defences. We aren't close to it. We could have had that if Jerry signed our key players earlier. But Jerry is a self absorbed narcissist who couldn't care less about winning, so we are where we are.

If you are looking for an elite defence then you will be waiting the rest of your life. There are no elite defences. You have good and serviceable defenses. And BTW that is a terrible excuse to make for a veteran QB that has been here as long as Dak has.

In fact, dak has had his fair share of serviceable defences of his many years here, regardless of how bad this past defence was.

Last season alone is no reason to give our QB a pass after he has been here for like 10-11 years.

Dallas hasn't been that bad on defense for that long.

Dak will be extended again. Next chance at a rebuild is after the 2030 season

Extending Dak again would probably want to make someone dive head first into a wood chipper.

Houston, Denver, New England, SFO (with how injured they are), Seattle, Buffalo, Rams, and Bears all have top defences. I'd argue that Houston, Denver, New England, the Rams, Seahawks, and Bears are safe to be called elite defences. Whether Dak is the answer going forward or not doesn't change the need for a better defence. The fact of the matter is Dak is I think only under contract for two more seasons I think? Right now, we should be building our defence to get it as strong as possible. Then, next year, we should be going QB to get his replacement ready. I think sitting the replacement behind him for a year would be wise since the transition from college to pro is still a bit of a challenge. Its not a bad idea to let the rookie sit for a year if needed. But I think 2027 should be the year we finally do that.

The smart way to do is how the Packers have done it. Draft Rodgers before Favre is done, draft Love before Rodgers is done.

Exactly, and that's why I'm thinking 2027 should be when we take Dak's replacement. This offseason should be about getting the defence as good as it can be between the draft and FA. Then, next year, get the QB round 1 to sit a year to get this team built as strongly as it can be.

That defense I saw tonight was elite. They could win a SB if the qb quit turning the ball over. All they need is an average offense.

They need to build a dominant defense like the Texans.

I'd draft the next guy you really like and let him sit multiple years.

A quarterback must have a consistently accurate arm. Doesn't have to be a cannon. He just has to hit the spot he's throwing to.
joe Montana didn't have a cannon for an arm. He just hit the spots he needed to hit. We haven't had that since Troy.
Troy had it all, strong arm and deadly accurate. That's very rare, but it's not totally necessary.
Romo and Dak both have the same issues. They just present themselves differently,
Tony would come out and have a bad half where he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. we'd end up getting down 20 points by halftime. Then, you'd have the famous Romo comebacks. But only after, he buried the team sometimes too far to come back from.
Dak just has issues from throw to throw, some throws look amazing. The next throw is a 10 yarder that's totally off target. Dak also has to have his feet set to be effective. If he can step into a throw, he does OK but if he can't, he gets into trouble.
Romo had maybe the quickest release I've ever seen. that is what made him so effective hitting Witten In heavy traffic. Witten would do his trademark push off, creating a half yard of separation and romo would have the ball right there
Dak can't do that on a consistent basis.

The bottom line, neither one of those guys is gonna get a team to a Super Bowl that much should be obvious to everybody.
Both quarterbacks give their all for the team. But sometimes that just isn't enough.
It's time to break the 30 year drought. Put your duckets in the bucket and draft a damn quarterback.

Are the defensive problems simply going to be dismissed? We were horrible on the defensive side of the ball and the visually impaired could see it.

Yeah I really hopeful for a little bit that we'd use one or 2 of the 4 first round picks in the next 2 years to draft our future QB, but Jerry made sure to dash those dreams. We're not replacing Dak for years to come.

Of course the defense shouldn't be ignored, but if we have a not so good defense than the least they can do is have a competent QB that can scrap in the games dallas needs to win.

The defense being bad, and Dak cashing it in, in a string of games we need to win to get into the playoffs doesn't make it any better.
